Patient's question:
My uncle has been feeling particularly uncomfortable in his abdomen since this spring. Sometimes even after eating, his intestines still make noises, and there's also significant pain on both sides of the inguinal canal. The scrotum even aches when stretched. After a thorough examination, it was determined that he has a hernia and needs to undergo a mesh surgery. How effective is hernia mesh surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common general surgical diseases in clinical diagnosis. For adults over middle age, surgical treatment with hernia mesh is the most effective method. Currently, in China, hernia meshes are divided into domestic and export products. The prices are relatively inexpensive. Even when using domestic hernia meshes for surgery, the body's rejection reaction is relatively mild, or even none. Therefore, the surgical effect of hernia mesh is very good.
